Projects
Adult Optimusic
Following on from a successful pilot project delivered as part of Culture and Sport Glasgow’s "On Your Radar – Glasgow Learning Disability Arts Programme", these weekly sessions give adults from day centres across Glasgow the opportunity to explore and create their own music using our interactive sound and light beam system, Optimusic. Optimusic is an audio-visual system of sixteen brightly coloured light beams which, when triggered, activates a wide range of instrumental, environmental and other sounds. During the workshops participants are encouraged to explore and have fun with the light beams through specially designed musical activities.
Partners
Glasgow’s Concert Halls work in partnership with Culture and Sport Glasgow.
Over 2000 attendances at Optimusic workshops since opening.
Quotes
I liked making my own piece.
participant, Hinshaw Street
I thought it was fantastic. You could go to one side then the other side, hearing all the sounds together.
participant, The Wedge
Both service-users and staff got a lot out of it. I’ve not done something like that before.
